Next Time


808 - Copy
Next time,
I will rest walk.
I will not flit from flower to flower like a butterfly,
capturing this and that in my digital memory.
As fun as that is, next time,
I will think walk.
I will not adrenalin-rush the next tooth and claw scene,
trying not to miss, trying not to blink.
Next time,
I will pray walk,
absorbing the wonder, wondering at the wandering soul I am,
loving the undeserved gift for itself in just this moment.
Next time.

    Such a lovely place. Where is it? Love the poem too! Deep breaths, slowing down, etc. I’m still learning that too.

There is Beauty in the Fallen


748 - Copy
The young and vibrant are praised just because–
all that color and life a grace.
But even in the light grip of the wounded and aged–the letting go–
there is a glory.
There is beauty in the fallen and glory in the shadows.
Loss is not loss, just change; and
all is grace.

Defiant or Oblivious?

Notice where he is eating his luscious little peanut!

(I’m not too mean: At least it is a live trap = all expense paid to somewhere far away.)
